Cameroon: Raising Community Online Reporters
Within many communities in Kupe Muanenguba region of Cameroon, the use of ICT tools and social media utilization is minimal and nearly absent while many issues of human rights abuses on women and girls, indiscriminate and illegal hunting of wildlife abound without notice. This project plans to train and equip 15 teenagers on the use of social media networks (facebook, twitter) in the production and reporting of news contents. Through their online reports with photographs, articles, short videos using facebook, twitter and emails, the global community will know what goes on and take action.
